Changes Made in the Gallery App Do not Apply - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey XDA,
I have a problem regarding the gallery app on the LG G4. I recently discovered that when I try to edit a picture, I can add all the filters, crop an Image and fine tune the colors but once I hit the check mark to save/apply these changes, the phone returns to the gallery without any changes to the original picture.
This is not the "unable to save changes" error, I do not get any message from the system at all (though the first time I tried to edit a picture, the app froze and displayed an empty pop up. I was forced to close it from the app overview then. Ever since, I see such a white pop up blink for a split-second when entering edit mode, though no text is displayed. I am not sure if this is relevant).
Anyway, I only found this post on reddit dealing with the same error, but since it is archived, one cannot reply there. I would be really thankful if you could point me into the direction of a fix for this.
Best,
morw

It could be a bug in the software a sort of compatibility issue download for the latest version of the apk or wait for anothr version or try using another apk...

Got the same.. "Use another app" is not a solution. I want to use the builtin app as did it in G3..

In messaging app > settings > message preview, when I choose 1 line, he show me messages with 1 line preview only a short period of time... Next time I get in, it is 2 line preview but still 1 line in settings...
Some kind of bug or... Is there a cure? It's not a big thing but it is irritating...

Contact pictures
Hey there, just saw couple days ago, my stock sms app doesn't showing contact pictures any more. Anyone have similar "problem"? Cure? o/ (rom msensev rc3.5)
try clearing cache/data for the app. corrupted settings/data for the app may be the issue. as far as i know there is no bug. and it could be related to you flashing the fix app. which needs to establish its own settings and not use the data/cache from the old app. so clear thosr things and readd. should work fine.

Installed 8.1 RTM, Avatar vanished!

Pretty simple really, I successfully installed 8.1 RTM, everything's working just fine but my gamer avatar on the Xbox live app seems to have vanished since 8.1 was installed! All my gamer tag details are there and correct but there just a space where an avatar should be..
Can anyone tell me how to get it back please?
Uninstall and reinstall the app?

Ook, I found it and installed it but this time, the entire panel with the avatar is missing!
The 'old' one had the light coloured panel next to the Gamer tag / edit profile / share profile etc..
Not sure what to do now.
Close the app (drag from the top of screen and throw the app off of the bottom of the screen) and re-launch it. Verify that your WiFi is working and that the app says that you're signed in. Check that you can access your account from Settings->Account in the app. Try toggling avatars off and then on again under Settings->Preferences. Reboot the tablet. Try uninstalling and re-installing the app one more time. Try refreshing Windows (under Settings->Change PC Settings->Update and recovery->Recovery). Give it a day or so to see if it resolves itself.
If all else fails, consider re-installing Windows, either by choosing Settings->Change PC Settings->Update and recovery->Recovery->"Remove everything and re-install Windows" or running Setup.exe again and, this time, choosing "Keep Nothing." A couple of other people have reported similar minor issues after upgrading that clean installations resolved.

Thanks but I don't see a "Preferences" option in the settings in the app. Am I missing something?
All I see in settings are:

We're talking about the "Games" app, the one with the green tile with the icon of an Xbox controller, right? I have a Preferences option there (just double-checked). I'm just using the version that came with 8.1. Maybe it and the store app aren't the same version.
I refreshed the OS install and everything's back to normal. I guess the games app in the store is an older version!
One thing I noticed was that there's no way to edit the avatar. I was sure that read a review of 8.1 that showed someone editing their avatar on the tablet but I guess I must have been mistaken.

Unable to save images in Chrome browser

For a while now, I am unable to save images in Chrome (no matter if regular, developer or beta. Even NoChromo displays the same behaviour). I cannot share images either, for example via Viber, but it works via FB Messenger. I rooted the phone 2 days ago and reinstalled everything, but the problem still persists! Strangely enough, some images do appear in the gallery after a while, some don't, but if I try to open it immediately in gallery, I get an exclamation mark logo, and google photos says "could not load image".
I am aware of at least two more guys with the same problem, so I'd like to know if there is more of us and if there is a fix (except downrgading to a really old chrome or an alternative browser, eg. LG stock browser does not have this issue).
Hi, you are not alone I faced this issue lg g4 recently following updates to the google chrome browser. It used to work fine but after the updates I have the exact same issue as you with the images. The way I fixed this is I go to google play store and go to the chrome browser. Click uninstall and it will remove all the updates. Following this I have also turned off auto updates for this app. Now I am using it fine with the stock version.
I didn't know it could be fixed. I'd prefer to have the latest Chrome browser though. I just download the image and then share through Quickpic or any other gallery app.

well, I did say "except downrgading to a really old chrome". I tried that already, but really, that's a no go for me.

does quickpic see the image immediately after downloading it?

Yep instantly. Tested it four times and it works for all websites.
If you don't currently have quickpic, then download the version 4.5.2 apk as their latest has bloat and junk since they were bought by a company.
thx!
Still, too bad that there is no proper fix for newer Chrome. Now, when I want to just share some goofy pic in Viber, I have to download it, open QuickPic, share photo and then delete it... It's a drag!
Guys! Same for me. I download the file, but it seems that there is a problem when file is saved. I tap the notification and stock gallery/album app give me a black screen with an "!" mark. If i choose to download the file again, Chrome says the file already exist... random bug.
Doesn't bother me that much since I don't save a lot of pics from the Internet, but it's still a pain.
I have the same issue but with stock file manager i can see and share them...

Photos from Google Camera do not show up in Instagram

Hi,
I recently moved to the google camera (using the modded apk, containing HDR+ and 60fps video), however one issue I have found is that the pictures do not show up in any of the Instagram categories other than Other... However, Gallery and other apps like Facebook see them normally.
Oneplus 3
Android 7.1.1 OOS
Rooted with Magisk
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Just check your gallery already!
Different camera apps have different picture saving indexes thus something it doesn't show up .
Just check gallery app
Here's the 'Camera' selection, the ones in the red box are taken with stock. The other ones are with the Google camera.

Here's the Camera collection in Instagram:

It is not showing any of the Google camera pictures.
I have same problem. Photo taken from google camera doesn't appear on instagram.
Same problem on my Redmi Note 4 running LOS with the HDR+ Google Camera.

No clue haha could be..
So after a huge amount of digging through file details and such, I believe I have found the reason why this happens and how I can show it easily.
The cause is down to the "Profile date/time" within the EXIF of the Google camera photos. It is not correctly set, so apps read it incorrectly. This can be shown in Snapchat, where the date of a photo is from the year 49429 etc. I assume this is because Snapchat does not expect the date to include the day, and therefore it funks up all it's formatting: ht tp://i.imgur.com/CVaV1lc.png (remove space)
F-Stop was the only app I could use to actually find this attribute, and as shown, it displays the incorrect profile date/time. I compared this to my OnePlus 3s stock camera EXIF which did not report any profile/date time, which I assume Snapchat then read the normal date time and passed it correctly htt p://i.imgur.com/xj0sK4N.png
So from here, I believe the APK will need to be changed to correctly report the correct date time in the correct format OR report no "Profile date/time" so that the default date time is read instead. This should then fix all the ordering issues happening with WhatsApp, Snapchat and Instagram.
I've just noted that this version seems to have fixed this issue ht tps://github.com/gladiac1337/gcam

Yes, under Others, but Instagram doesn't recognize them, so I am stuck with only 1 photo. Multi photos is not possible/

Then something is wrong since it works fine in my end and others.
I have the same problem. Had to go to "others" under Instagram to visualize the pictures, and it is still cumbersome to choose as it jumps back to gallery when you go back.

Question Favorites Flashing when opening Phone App

Since the latest update, when I open the phone app for the first time (or after it shuts down from timeout), a few of my favorites seem to "flash". If this doesn't make sense, I'll try to post attach a video later tonight. Can anyone tell me why this is and how to disable it?
Instructions to reproduce: Click favorites on phone app so it is first to display on reopening. Force close phone app. Open phone app.
So, after playing with this more, I found out that this only happens when I'm signed in to my Duo account. The contacts that flash don't seem to coincide with those who have Duo access, especially since one of the accounts that flash is a landline only account.
So far, I haven't been able to find a fix or a way to disable this. It is super annoying when I'm used to just opening the phone app and clicking on a favorite, only to have it fail because the favorite flashed and didn't capture the touch input.
I agree this is due to Duo....havent looked into it, but yeah its a bit annoying IMHO too!
Seems to be solved in the latest update of the dialer app (I received it this morning): 76.0.431816759
